Trusted Computing Platforms: Tcpa Technology in Context
Siani Pearson, Boris Balacheff, Liqun Chen, David Plaquin, Graeme Proudler
Résumé
TCPA: Building computing platforms upon a solid foundation of trust.
As businesses stake their very existence on the Internet, PCs, PDAs, and other key computing platforms, the trustworthiness of these platforms has become a vital concern. In response, the Trusted Computing Platform Alliance (TCPA) has delivered a complete specification for building trusted computing platforms atop trusted hardware. In Trusted Computing Platforms, leaders of the initiative illuminate TCPA for every systems developer and decision-maker. They place TCPA in context, outlining its goals, techniques, and powerful implications for the future.
* What trusted computing platforms are, how they work, and
what problems they will solve
* Transforming standard platforms into trusted platforms
cost-effectively
* Scenarios for managers: TCPA applications in the
security-focused business
* Protected storage: how TCPA can ensure the
confidentiality of stored data
* Software integrity: ensuring that a system's software
environment hasn't been tampered with
* Trust mechanisms in a trusted platform: functional
descriptions, advantages, and overhead
* Trusted platforms in practice: TCPA for developers and
technical professionals
* How trusted platforms can be used to protect user
privacy
* The TCPA initiative: its history, status, and next steps
forward
Backed by an extraordinary range of industry leaders, TCPA offers the first complete, cost-effective, and globally applicable solution for trusted computing. Whether you develop new systems or apply them in business or government, you need to understand this technology—and with this book, you will.
